Quinoa Stuffing at The Nourishing Gourmet

I thought of this recipe roundup again [2] as I was pondering all of the amazingly delicious and nourishing recipes that are available throughout the blogosphere for the holidays this year.

It can be tough to find "real food" recipes. I know, because I've gone to local stores and looked around online and found little. Yes, there are books on whole foods, but rarely with traditional techniques. There are books that don't use processed foods, but they shun animal fats and dairy. It's not hard to see why real food blogs have grown tremendously over the last couple of years!

When it comes to holiday cooking, many of us have family stand-bys or favorite recipes that we used to make, but now with our new knowledge of what real food really is [3], we get a bit stuck and wonder what to prepare for all of our special meals and get-togethers this season.

I decided to round up a huge selection of nourishing, whole foods holiday recipes. It's nice to have everything in one neat and tidy list, isn't it? Bookmark this list, Stumble it, tweet about it, share on Facebook, or send it to friends and family. Let's share the real food love this holiday season, shall we?

So here you have it... a whopping 398 whole, real food recipes to choose from. Enjoy!
